Morphine

Good question! Actually, Morphine Sulphate was the drug of choice because it was assumed there was a strongly benefical hemodynamic effect, which, it turns out, has never been proven. Nowadays, better effects can be had with other meds, and MS is counterindicated for exactly the reason you state in your question. Please see link.

Morphine toxicity may result from overdosage but because of the great inter-individual variation in sensitivity to opioids it is difficult to determine an exact dose of any opioid that is toxic or lethal. The presence of pain or tolerance tends to diminish the toxic effects of morphine. Published data suggest that in a morphine naive, pain-free individual, the lethal dose would be in excess of 120mg. Patients on chronic oral morphine therapy have been known to take in excess of 3000mg/day with no apparent toxicity.

i think its how they keep their hands so steady.

Tramadol and Nucynta (tapentadol) are both medications used to treat pain, but they belong to different classes of opioids. Taking them together can increase the risk of side effects, particularly respiratory depression, sedation, and other central nervous system effects. It’s essential to consult a healthcare professional before combining these medications to ensure safety and appropriate management of pain. Always follow your doctor's advice regarding medication use.

Morphine and Xanax (alprazolam) should be used together with caution and only under a doctor's supervision, as both medications can depress the central nervous system. This combination can increase the risk of respiratory depression, sedation, and other serious side effects. Always consult a healthcare professional before combining these medications to ensure safety and proper management of your treatment.

The conversion between morphine and hydrocodone (the active ingredient in Norco) is not straightforward, as individual responses can vary. However, a common conversion suggests that 15 mg of morphine is approximately equivalent to 10 mg of hydrocodone. Therefore, roughly 10 mg of Norco (which contains 5 mg of hydrocodone per tablet) would be needed to equate to 15 mg of morphine. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for accurate dosing and individual considerations.

Intrathecal pain pumps deliver medication directly into the spinal fluid, which can provide effective pain relief with potentially fewer side effects compared to oral medications. However, some individuals may experience drowsiness or sedation as a side effect, especially if the dosage is high or if the medication used has sedative properties. It's important for patients to discuss any concerns about drowsiness with their healthcare provider to find the most appropriate settings for their pain management.

A couple of the most common "street names" for morphine are "Morph", and "Miss Emma", or just "Emma" (Heroin is also called "Emma", but Heroin and Morphine are very closely related, so the name is almost interchangeable in some areas).

No, strychnine is not an antidote for morphine. In fact, strychnine is a highly toxic substance that acts as a stimulant to the central nervous system and can cause severe convulsions and death. The appropriate antidote for morphine overdose is naloxone, which is an opioid antagonist that can quickly reverse the effects of morphine. Using strychnine in this context would be extremely dangerous and is not recommended.
